We have this ex-foreign-ministre guy, Lloyd Axworthy Who thinks you can solve the world's problems by giving it welfare and thinking pretty thoughts.

LOL, I'd advise against dressing up like Americans! Too many people out to get us. You'd be safer in lumberjack outfits, carrying around a six-pack of Molson's, a box of Tim Horton's donuts, and some Nabob jam.

<Liberians are looking for Made In USA> There is another solution. The US can annex Canada, or at least the good parts. Let Quebec secede. Let British Columbia go, too, they won't make good Americans. Give you N. California (pacifists and other weirdos), in trade for Alberta (renamed North Texas), Yukon (New Alaska), and NW Territories-Nunavit (New Oklahoma). The rest of ex-Canada can do whatever it wants to. Our EPA can produce Environmental Impact Statements to authorize the strip-mining of Alberta for their oil sand deposits, and an All-American gas and oil pipeline up the Mackenzie River to Alaska. About 90 minutes after the annexation, that should take. Enough tax subsidies, and in a few years, the Greater USA can be exporting oil again, like we did in the 1950s. There isn't any oil in Liberia, so it's a dumb place to send troops to.
